The cat is out of the bag —
In the military, no one asks you what party you’re in. They just want to know that they can count on you to fight alongside them.
I’m ready to lead and fight for Nevadans again. https://t.co/LB0ndz9VBx

“The cat is out of the bag,” Brown tweeted Monday morning. “In the military, no one asks you what party you’re in. They just want to know that they can count on you to fight alongside them. I’m ready to lead and fight for Nevadans again.”
Brown is expected to launch his campaign at an event in Sparks, Nevada, at 3 p.m. local time on Monday.
“Right now, the American Dream is at risk. Joe Biden and Jacky Rosen promised to unite Americans and solve problems. Instead, they’ve abandoned Nevada and divided America with extreme policies to satisfy special interests in Washington,” Brown said in a statement, per the Hill.
“I know our mission to restore the American Dream is achievable if we work together. In the military, no one asks you what party you are in. They just want to know they can count on you to get the job done. That’s the attitude we need to tackle the problems of today. As your Senator, I will get the job done for Nevada. I am ready to lead and fight for you again,” the statement read.
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Steve Daines (R-MT) welcomed Brown’s entrance into the Senate race in Nevada.
“Sam Brown’s life of service and sacrifice is an inspiration to all Americans. I am very pleased that Sam is stepping up to run for the U.S. Senate,” Daines said in a statement.
Brown finished in second place in the 2022 Nevada Senate GOP primary behind former state Attorney General Adam Laxalt. Brown earned 34.2% of the vote compared with Laxalt’s 55.9% of the primary vote. Laxalt would narrowly lose to incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-NV).

In the Republican primary, Brown’s main opponent will be Jim Marchant, who unsuccessfully ran for Nevada secretary of state in 2022.
Nevada is widely seen as one of the key races where the GOP is hoping to flip a Democratic-held Senate seat in 2024, with Democrats mostly on defense in contested races in next year’s elections.
